Nuneaton Store - Woodturning with Jason Breach

We are pleased to announce that once again we will be joined by our Skill Centre Tutor and hand tools expert Jason Breach.

During Jason’s demonstration, he will show how to use a variety of hand tools and talk about his preferred methods when it comes to sharpening. Using spindle work and faceplate techniques Jason will make a range of items, some of which will include how to mount work off centre using the Eccentric Spiraling Chuck.

Jason has had a passion for woodworking from an early age and therefore has many years experience in the industry. He has attended courses at Parnham House and graduated from Buckingham College in High Wycombe with a BA Hons in Furniture Design & Management.

This is a great opportunity to watch a master of his craft in action and put your questions to one of our experts.
